Don't know if anyone has had this prob. Installed a no 6 (#6) switch/point on the layout and it has the Aristocraft live frog microswitch control to change polarity when a loco runs over it. It is causing the loco to pause momentarily as it traverses it (using either branch but worse on the main path). Have checked all the connections, current path etc but cannot come up with the reason. It happens with any length loco and any species but is markedly more noticable with shorter locos due to the pickup having a shorter wheelbase and the momentum not being as much. When at very slow speeds it is really a problem, sometimes even 'stalling' the smaller locos. The only thing that I can think is that the microswitch has become 'lazy'.
Any similar experiences would help to fathom out what is going on here.
